Located in Grant, Colorado, this riverfront mountain retreat offers rare, private access to the North Fork of the South Platte River. Set on nearly two acres of flat, fully fenced land, the updated cabin backs directly to the river, complete with a private gate for effortless water access. Tucked just off Highway 285, the property provides reliable year-round access while remaining quiet and private, with quick connectivity to Bailey for shopping, dining, and daily essentials.

Inside, the cabin is warm and inviting, featuring beetle-kill pine accents and original hardwood floors that reflect classic mountain character. The efficient galley kitchen includes all appliances and opens into a comfortable living and sleeping area. Heating is handled by a newer gas stove with remote control, supplemented by a wall furnace in the kitchen. A tastefully updated 3/4 bath is accessed through a modern barn door.

Recent improvements add significant value and longevity, including new siding (2018), new windows and doors (2019), and a sliding glass door that opens onto a newer 16' x 10' partially covered wood patio overlooking a peaceful meadow frequented by wildlife. Extensive fire mitigation has been completed, and the property is well positioned for storage or future expansion with two sheds--one with electricity--and a heated pump house.

Additional features include an owned propane tank, an updated 1,000-gallon septic system with new line and cleanouts, and ample flat parking, making the property easy to enjoy in all seasons.

Located in historic Grant, just minutes from Pike National Forest, this property delivers an authentic Colorado mountain lifestyle. The Shaggy Sheep--open year-round for coffee, meals, or a drink--is only a short walk away. With river frontage, highway access, proximity to Bailey, and room to build a future dream home, this is a versatile mountain getaway--or rebuild opportunity--that is becoming increasingly rare.
